How to Transport the Machine
WARNING: The machine is heavy. Remove the motor
from the machine before transporting. Get
help loading the machine and motor. Use
proper lifting techniques.
Transporting the Machine - Using the Dolly Cart
CAUTION: When deploying the dolly, the drum will
contact the floor or ground over which the
machine is resting. Care should be taken
to avoid surfaces which might damage or
contaminate the drum.
CAUTION: While transporting using the dolly, abrupt
changes in the direction of travel or the
surface over which the machine is being
transported could cause the machine to tip
over. Also, the machine is more likely to
tip over when transporting across inclined
surfaces.
Attach the dolly to the rear of the machine as follows:
1. Open the quick release levers (2A) and unscrew the adjustment
nuts (2B) to allow installation of the dolly. (See figure 2)
2. Insert the quick release skewers into the dolly brackets and
immediately tighten the adjustment nuts until the dolly mechanism
will just swing free.
Deploy the dolly under the machine as follows:
1. With the dolly mechanism in place as described above, tip the
machine by lifting up on the operators handle to raise the rear of
the machine off the floor/ground until the dolly swings under the
machine. (See figure 3)
2. Hold the dolly in position using your foot and allow the machine to
tip back and rest on the dolly wheels. (See figure 4)
3. Tip the machine back on all four wheels and close the quick
release levers for transport. Some adjustment of the quick
release skewers may be necessary to allow the levers to be
tightened securely.
Removing/Storing the dolly:
The dolly can be stored on the machine in the “UP” position or it can
be removed and stored separately.
1. Open the quick release levers to loosen the dolly.
2. Lift up on the operators handle to tip the machine forward.
3. Swing the dolly out from under the machine and lower the
machine until it rests on its own wheels.
CAUTION: Be careful when lowering the machine.
The dolly will swing back toward the
operator as the machine is lowered.
